The Role:

This is not a standard sales role. ThoughtSpot is launching a new agentic product line - adjacent to our core Agentic Analytics platform - and we are hiring our very first, founding seller for this business. This role was initiated directly by our CEO and will report into the Head of Global Strategy. The role is designed and intended to grow: the person who lands it will ideally build, lead, and scale the GTM team for this line of business over time.

You will define what “good” looks like here. You will create the playbook, not follow one. You will sell alongside our CEO and SVP of Strategy and Operations, with full access to executive relationships. If you’re energized by the idea of launching something new inside a mature, fast-growing enterprise software company - and you want to broaden your GTM leadership in your future - read on.

What You'll Do:

Own the full sales cycle for a net-new product line - from identifying the right ICP through to close
Develop the foundational GTM playbook: messaging, discovery methodology, competitive positioning, and deal strategy
Engage directly with C-level and VP-level buyers at enterprise accounts, translating agentic AI capabilities into measurable business outcomes
Run effective discovery and demos - frequently without an SE present - because you understand the product deeply enough to lead the technical narrative
Collaborate closely with product, marketing, and the CEO to shape go-to-market based on what you’re learning in the field
Lay the groundwork to hire and lead a team as this product line scales

What You Bring:

Must-haves

Deep, genuine fluency in agentic AI - you can speak credibly about workflows, orchestration, and automation with technical buyers and business stakeholders alike
A proven track record selling enterprise software, with experience navigating complex, multi-stakeholder deals
Outcome-oriented sales approach - you sell business impact (cost reduction, headcount efficiency, process acceleration), not features and functions
Builder mentality - you have created sales processes, messaging frameworks, or playbooks from scratch, not just executed on existing ones
High tolerance for ambiguity - this product category is genuinely new, and you’re energized, not stressed, by that
Evangelist energy - you make prospects feel like they’re getting in early on something important, because they are

Nice-to-haves

Experience selling analytics, AI/ML, or data platform products
Prior experience as a founding or first-hire seller at a startup or new product line
Bay Area based with ability to work regularly from our Mountain View office

Why This Role:

Direct access to our CEO - this LOB was his initiative and he is actively involved
Built-in path to GTM leadership as the product scales
The credibility of a mature, well-funded company with the energy of a new product launch
Competitive base + accelerated commission structure for first-mover performance
You will be part of defining the agentic enterprise software category - a genuine career moment
